Hollywood has lost one its most prolific and greatest actors with the death of Donald Sutherland. Regardless of generations, chances are you have seen his face and a movie or TV show he was in. His death was announced by his son Keifer Sutherland who wrote "With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad, or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived."
He definitely loved acting with over 200 credits. The long list of notable work includes JFK, The Dirty Dozen, Animal House, Backdraft, The Italian Job, The Hunger Game movies, M.A.S.H., Ordinary People, and well it just keeps going. His choice in projects was varied and showed no limitation to his acting skills and presence. He won an honorary Oscar in 2017, showing that Oscar often gets as much wrong as it does right as he should have had a shelf full of them. As filmmaker Joe Russo put it best, "RIP to the GOAT.” Condolence's to his family on their loss. You can read more about him and Hollywood reaction here and here.
